About Dixons Farm
Dixons Farm provides residential support for six adult men and women, including people on the autism spectrum and people with learning disabilities. The Preston service is intended for residents who benefit from a smaller setting where everyday living, communication and participation can be supported around individual needs.
The home describes a safe environment in which learning and living are part of daily life. Support can include people with communication difficulties and mild to moderate behaviour that may require additional assistance. Its residential model is distinct from Priory’s wider mental health and addiction services, which do not automatically apply to this location.

Questions families ask
How much does Dixons Farm cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Dixons Farm for its weekly fee. As a guide, Lancashire council paid on average £1,864 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Dixons Farm whether it takes residents funded by Lancashire council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
